To all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that I, DANIEL KABER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Sign Characters, ofwhich the following .is a specification.

This invention relates to improvementsin sign characters and the likeand is preferably of a construction wherein the character itself is cutfrom the sheet of paper or similar material treated on the front sidewith a coating of the adhesive substance upon which a corresponding signcharacter is placed forming a coating.

More specifically the invention relates to a sign character comprising asheet of transparent paper cut in the shape of the character and havinga coating of adhesive material on the front side and a coatingrepresenting the sign character on both sides and of less size so that amargin is left thereby leaving a portion of the adhesive materialexposed by which the character may be secured to a Window or any similarplace.

The invention may be fully briefly summarized as consisting in the signcharacter' as set forth in the following description, drawings andclaim.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a signcharacter; and Fig. 2 is a section upon the line 2 2 of Fig. 1 showingthe several thicknesses of the body or paper, the adhesive coating, andthe sign character coatings on the two sides.

In carrying out the invention I prefer to Specification of LettersPatent.

employ a sheet of transparent paper 1 cut 'in the form of the signcharacter and having upon the front side thereof a coating 2 of adhesivesubstance and upon the front side a coating 3 corresponding to the signcharacter and spaced from the edge thereof to leave exposed a margin ofthe adhesive coating 2. A coating 4 is applied to the back and is madeto register with the coating 3 on the front to intensify the coloring ofthe sign character. The coatings 3 and 4; are of printers ink or similarprinting material.

In practice the user selects the sign characters which are to form thesign and moistens the adhesive margins and places the characters uponglass or any other transparent substance.

Having described my invention, I claim A sign character comprising asheet of transparent paper cut in the shape of the character and coatedfirst upon the front side with adhesive material and then coated on bothsides in register and over the adhesive material with the materialsetting forth the sign character, the sign character coating portionsbeing smaller than the paper character itself, thus leaving a margin ofadhesive covered surface surrounding the coated character.

In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature in presence of two witnessesas follows:
